Generation Rumble Written by Dave Edmonds Mother and daughter fighting it out Who's gonna stay home tonight Who wears the makeup and hangs on the phone It always seems to end in a fight Now it don't seem long since momma was the child bride She got married in a hurry Sixteen years old or a day Woah on her wedding and you'd drive it till dawn With a rock and roll band to play She wore black when daddy gave the bride away Cause it's a generation rumble A war between two worlds She giving daughter in laws in trouble Well your baby's getting married when she's still her daddy's little girl Now the years roll in and the family brings big changes home on the scene Sweet sixteen's turned thirty-four but boy she's still that same little queen And as for the chicks she's gonna follow every dream Cause it's a generation rumble A war between two worlds She giving daughter in laws in trouble Well your baby's grown up but momma's still the same old girl Mother and daughter fighting it out Who's gonna get there own way Well the doctor said "Take it easy now. Take two of these every day.' Doctor, doctor you can throw you pills away Cause it's a generation rumble A war between two worlds She giving daughter in laws in trouble Well your baby's grown up but momma's still the same old girl Well it's a generation rumble A war between two worlds She giving daughter in laws in trouble Well your baby's grown up but momma's still the same old girl Well your baby's grown up but momma's still the same old girl Well your baby's grown up but momma's still the same old girl
